Re: [lace] Kazaman Spam?

2014-11-08 Thread Karen ZM
I've been getting them from others and deleting them too - I didn't realise
it was going out to others from my addy as well. Seems like some spam going
around and, quite honestly, other than deleting I don't know what to do
about it. Any ideas or suggestions? Meanwhile, I'm sorry for the
inconvenience.

Do I need to tell you that I found your message in my spam folder :-

Maybe you should try changing your password to see if that has  any impact.

Changing the password will only help if the actual email address has been 
hacked into and the account is being used to send out spam.   This happened to 
me once and I received thousands of messages back telling me that my emails 
(which of course, I hadn't sent!) to various addresses couldn't be delivered.   
 I did change my password but it still took weeks for the flow of undeliverable 
emails to stop

However, if the person is unaware that spam is being sent under their name and 
address, its more likely that their list of contacts and own address has been 
captured by malware downloaded onto the computer without them being aware.   
This is a common way of making it looks as if the message comes from Kazaman, 
when in effect, it isn't - the spammers aren't even using her address, just 
trying to make it look as of they are.Changing the password doesn't help i. 
This situation.its similar to my writing someone else's return address on 
the back of a snail-mail envelope rather than my real address.

I'm not aware of anything which can be done in this situation - the recipients 
need to be vigilent and just delete the messages.   The spammers will move onto 
using someone else's identity - could even be mine!

You are right, Ruth. The tip off to when you have actually  been hacked is 
when you start receiving all the can't deliver mail messages  from all the 
outdated email addresses in your address book. I have had that  happen to 
me and changing the password did stop it. But if, as you say, this  other 
thing is happening, that won't help. 
 
I guess it is just part of the annoyance of receiving email  that you 
receive emails that look like they are from people you know who  breathlessly 
want to acquaint you with some wonderful website. Since people I  know never 
exhibit that behavior, I just blow all those away.

[lace] Kazaman Spam?

2014-11-07 Thread Jeriames
Dear Karen in Malta,
 
Is someone using your e-mail address to send mail that says in the  inbox:
 
_Kazaman@gmail44.com_ (mailto:kaza...@gmail44.com)  is awaiting  your 
reply.  Accept?
 
It does not look like something you would send to Arachne!  It does  not 
have the [lace] indicator.   I've been deleting these in  the last week.  
 
Do you know about this?
